Observations from my day

Yesterday I watched the best movie I've seen in a very long time and the worst football I've seen in a long time.

If you can tolerate the F-bomb (alot) and don't mind having to use your brain once or twice whilst watching a movie, you will love "Burn after Reading". I laughed through the entire movie. It was exactly what I expected it to be and totally fantastic.

Then I went home and watched football.

Dear God.

In the first 5 minutes of the Michigan-Notre Dame game, I threw everything within reach at the television. Seriously, could my team suck any worse? I did enjoy watching the freshman running back (who we referred to as the "fast little white guy") rack up 185 all-purpose yards, but jeez, did you have to spot 'em 21 points?

Last week my Chiefs got their asses handed to them by the Patriots, but they blew out Tom Brady's knee. This week my Wolverines got their asses handed to them by the Irish, but they blew out Charlie Weis' knee. What the hell?

(On a side note: Who is Charlie gonna find to do his knee surgery? He doesn't have a very good reputation as a patient....)

Then, to cap it all off, I watched one of the most over-rated teams in football, The Ohio State Buckeyes, be decapitated by the dynastic USC Trojans. Quite literally, the only match-up possible where I would root for the freakin' Trojans.

3 points? The #5 team in the country was only able to score a field goal? I thought their ranking was a bit, shall we say, inflated. Proof positive.

Go Blue!
